Physical Description:
Boxes 1-5

Scope and Content Note

Divided into 2 sub-series: Family Correspondence, and Correspondence with Friends.
Family Correspondence has been further divided into Letters from Grace, Letters to
Grace, R.R. Service Letters, and Other Family Correspondence. The bulk of Grace's
letters are written to her mother, with only a very few addressed to her father, and one
each to her aunt and mother-in-law. The majority of letters written to Grace are from
her son, Jack, and his wife, Caroline; only a few are from her husband, written during
their brief times apart. The remainder of the family correspondence consists of a few
miscellaneous letters of Rob Roy's and various family members. Correspondence with
Friends has been further divided into Letters from Grace, Letters to Grace, and Letters
to R. R. Service. Other than her sustained correspondence with Mabel Yard, most of
letters from Grace's friends are miscellaneous, single letters, while letters sent to R.
R. Service include some relating to his missionary work.

In 1943, her diaries expand to two volumes per year: the first recording her daily
entry, and the second containing logs of letters received and answered, recipes,
accounts, lists of books read, and invitations. Diaries for the years 1953 and 1954 are
represented by addendum volumes only. Loose items removed from various volumes follow at
the end of the series.
